Here, in this conceptual paper, I expand and apply this notion to education, discuss, and illustrate the three major espoused educational chronotopes that I abstracted in my analysis of educational practices around Dialogic Pedagogy. Frist is the Assignment Chronotope based on a type of monologic pedagogy, the most common in conventional, but also in some innovative, schools, focusing on making students arrive at preset curricular endpoints. Second is the Dialogic Provocation Chronotope based on narrowly defined dialogic pedagogy and involving promotion of the students’responsive critical authorship. Third is the Journey Chronotope focusing on promoting the students’self-assignmentsand self-initiated educational journeys that can propel self-generated critical authorship in a targeted practice (or a network of practices). Educational examples, concerns, and consequences of these chronotopes are considered.\u003Cbr>Keywords: chronotopes, assignment-based, dialogic provocation, learning journey, critical authorship, responsive authorship, self-generated authorship |  |  |\n\nEugene Matusov , Ph.

Yazzie-Mintz (2006) found that 50% of US high school students are bored EVERY day in their classes. Hart (2006) reported that 82% of Californian ninth and tenth graders perceived their OVERALL school experiences as “boring or irrelevant” (p. 2) . My undergraduate students, future teachers, overwhelmingly reported to me that their best memories of school are of recesses, social events with their friends and classmates (and sometimes even with their teachers), but rarely academic events with the school curricula and their teachers and peers (cf. Sidorkin, 2002) . I think the most poetical way this sense is induced is in a famous teacher joke by an unknown author. I read several versions of this joke once titled as “Why Jesus, the Teacher, wept”on the Internet and it is worth to reproduce it in its entirety here:  \nWhy Jesus, the Teacher, wept  \nThen Jesus took his disciples up the mountain and gathering them around, he taught them, saying, \"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted.
